Make sure you have a good look at what's around, many SIIs will have had things replaced, as much is a direct swap with S3. At least the spares for both are readily available and relatively cheap.If your prepared to work on it, then there is not much that cannot be done with space and a reasonable set of tools.
If your not planning on rebuilding it, then give the chassis a very careful inspection, it could be 40 years old and covered in underseal, with not much metal left. Many have been patched up so there may be a bit of welding. As well as complete new chassis, all the various sections can be purchased and replaced, so the rear may look new but the front original.
The petrol engine will be doing well to give 15 mpg. People do swap for newer diesels which can be far better for fuel consumption.
Like the MT, they are easy to keep going, but the parts are bigger.
